[Video 1] #AneleHoyana brutally killed by a White Racist Farmer Fritz Joubert over the weekend. The white man calls him satan, whilst referring himself as god. Tells him to kneel, & Anele, carrying his two year old child, bows. Why is this not BREAKING NEWS? White Privilege?
[Video 2] Let us ask @SABCNewsOnline, @eNCA@Newzroom405 why is the story of #AneleHoyana brutally killed by a White Racist Farmer Fritz Joubert over the weekend not on TV. The event occurred on Saturday!
Here is a perfect story of a white racists farmer killing a Black man!
More needs to be done to ensure critical medication like such is available especially for the populations that need it the most. Charging high for those that are already vulnerable erodes the important steps taken in fighting #SCD#healthcare 😔

"I come from a family with warriors. I will follow up the bill for SCD. Many politicians shy away from addressing issues pertaining to SCD despite being affected by it because of the stigma associated with SCD" - H.E Maryam Tambuwal, First Lady of Sokoto @mmawt_l_L #ACSCD2019
There seems to be an attention bias towards Paediatric cases of SCD probably due to the fact that diagnoses are usually amongst children. As a result, there is need to encourage more focus and resources to management & research on the adult experience of SCD. @MoHCCZim@Memej99
@ScatzZim@MoHCCZim Thank You for this Tweet, I couldn't agree more. Thank you for saying what many of us have been saying & seeing for a long time. You're absolutely correct.
This is sad but very true. In my case, as we get older, there's many more issues that start 2 affect our overall health, not including the effects on our #SickleCell, therefore making it an absolute necessity that adult #SickleCellWarriors get the care we all need w/o a doubt.
